Embodiment Construction

[0008]The inventors have now surprisingly discovered that influenza viruses which comprise backbone segments from two or more influenza donor strains can grow faster in a culture host compared with reassortant influenza A viruses which contain all backbone segments from the same donor strain. In particular, the inventors have found that influenza viruses which comprise backbone segments derived from two high-yield donor strains can produce higher yield reassortants with target vaccine-relevant HA / NA genes than reassortants made with either of the two original donor strains.

[0009]In principle, all segments of closely related influenza A viruses can be specifically reassorted to produce viable viruses, but only a small fraction of these viruses will be high-growth reassortants, due to inefficient activities of the resulting viral components. The inventors have provided backbone combinations that produce the high yield strains. Reassortant influenza A viruses comprising backbone segmen...
